(U.S.) Deth Crux-Mutant Flesh LP (2018)

After debuting in 2015 with their staggering first EP "Pears of
Anguish", Los Angeles deathrock night stalkers Deth Crux (who feature in
their ranks members of US doom legends Buried at Sea and of L.A.
black/death heathens Lighting Swords of Death) return with their long
awaited debut album - the haunting and chameleonic "Mutant Flesh", forty
minutes of shapeshifting and deviant horror punk/gothic rock soaked in
neon, blood, sex, and perversion. Shrouded in an aura both erotic and
extraterrestrial, "Mutant Flesh" is a modern post-punk juggernaut in
which Deth Crux have distilled the most tumultuous, unclean, and
eclectic aspects of their home town Los Angeles to create a dark punk
opera of unparalleled seductiveness and darkness. Theirs is not the Los
Angeles we all know. Instead it is a city they have transformed and
reimagined through sound with its most dysfunctional and cinematic
traits exaggerated and pushed to the forefront,
haunted by neon-hungry ghosts and mutated subhuman creatures hiding
behind black sunglasses among the surface population, where strange
flesh is sold to fulfill unearthly desires. In "Mutant Flesh" Deth Crux
channel the grandiose majesty and gloom of iconic UK goth bands like
Bauhaus, Fields of the Nephilim, and Sister of Mercy, with the spooky
and feral irreverence of Christian Death, projecting it all against
their own personal audio-visual backdrop of decaying urban madness and
sinister body horror to yield something truly both unseen and
marvelously unsettling and seductive. Recorded and mixed by famed sound
designer Sanford Parker (Leviathan, Wovenhand, Nachtmystium, Voivod
etc.) in 2017 at Big Band Sound in Los Angeles, "Mutant Flesh" features
contributions also by saxophone legend Bruce Lamont (Yakuza, Corrections
House) and is already slated to become a classic dark goth/horror punk
opera of our times. Long live the Mutant Flesh.

(Press Note)

*Damn, This is some really dark, gloomy, and tense sounding post punk, death rock, and dark wave. Mutant Flesh is Deth Crux's debut full-length LP, which was released via Sentient Ruin Laboratories on December 7th, 2018. Overall, Mutant Flesh makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed. Highly recommended! Enjoy!
